In what way is your comment positive or supportive?
OP asked for advice, people gave advice.
You on the other hand addressed a mini rant directed at "people" and told a little anecdote about you and your friend.
Pot / kettle / black.
A tip for you: if you want to debate with, or identify who you are directing your comments to, then quote them or add their profile name. Otherwise it really does come across as a pointless rant.
I'm new on this forum I don't know how it works yet! Appologies if I said something wrong - I just read the first reply saying there's no such thing as a magic tablet or shake - I didn't read that the original post was changed - I felt sorry for OP as I thought she just wanted to know which shakes were good for working out ! I don't understand why I'm pot kettle black! I just answered to say my friend is using high protein shakes to help with her work outs - I am using slim fast as a calorie controlled diet to loose a few pounds. Sorry to anyone who was offended - I just thought the comment was unfair0 -

That's fine - no worries and certainly no offense taken, it's just the Interwebz after all.
It is very unusual for a post (and title) to be changed.
After a while on here you will realise there's an awful lot of misinformation about supplements (protein shakes in
particular) and their relative importance or correct usage.
A lot of that spread by trainers and people in gyms! Also people see "the big guys" in gyms glugging protein shakes and think it's the protein shake doing the work rather than the workout. If only it was that easy.....

Look at your overall dietary intake.
Very few people really need to supplement for "gym workouts".1 -

If you like gingerbread, Oxygen magazine has a recipe for a delicious Gingerbread cookie shake: 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder, 1/2 scoop chocolate protein powder, 1/2 cup vanilla enriched Rice Dream, 1/2 cup vanilla yogurt, 1/2 tsp ginger, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1 T molasses, and ice cubes. Blend and drink ! Mmmmmm
I also like a Creamsicle, which is a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of vanilla protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat or Greek vanilla (or plain or coffee) yogurt. Blend and drink.
The Key Lime Protein Shake is blended with the juice of a lime, 2 tsp lime zest, 1 scoop of vanilla whey protein powder, 1 T coconut, a cup of milk, and 1-2 packets of Stevia (optional).
The Chocolate Maple Shake is made by blending a cup of milk, 3 T protein powder, 1 T cocoa powder, and 1 tsp maple syrup
Last but not least, for a change, I blend a cup of orange juice (I get the Healthy kids kind with extra calcium and vitamins), half a scoop of chocolate protein powder (I’ve been getting spirulina), and a lowfat coffee yogurt. Also good!

I use PhD diet whey. Comes in a variety of flavours. But i tend to go for the Belgian choc mixed with water & then sometimes add a banana, strawberries or peanut butter. I use it as a bfast meal replacement if I'm working an early...(who wants bfast at 6am??) And if I do an hr weights session or a hard spin class I'll have it post workout. There's so many protein shakes/drinks to choose from. I tried a few before I found PhD, I won't use anything else. Slim fast & juice plus didn't agree with me. Always search on line for a good price aswell. PhD is twice the price in Tesco compared to Amazon/eBay. Good luck xx0

Remember that what's important is your overall calorie intake. You could be negating your entire workout by downing a shake. Have some caffeine if you need a boost. I like amino energy, but I'm sure the effect (besides the caffeine) is mostly placebo. But, it only has 5 calories and I like the sweetness.
I see far too many people chugging a vitamin water on the treadmill, not realizing they need to RUN a mile or two just to burn that off.2 -
Ha ha I did change the post cuz I thought it was confusing. I named it pills and potions as a joke and then noticed people didn't get it. So I really did just want to know about shakes, drinks, suppliments that help with working out and keeping energy. I never have used any and just did diet and exercise. Dipping my toe to see what people use, what works, if I should try any. @stealthHealth @sijomial @lauraemily84 sorry for confusion! ! Not trying to piss anyone off lol.
Thank you all for advice! !0 -

I posted the first reply, which I can't change now, but it was in response to the OPs original question that specifically asked for suggestions for ”pills and magic potions". Those were the words used. I didn't expect to have the question changed after I answered it. I wasn't trying to be rude or mean. It was an honest response to the original question.0 -

I eat better and still use health and wellness products and yes most folks say MLM is a scam, I an involved with a health and wellness company. I will not preach about it on here. I used to take 12 supplements/vitamins for my hair, skin, immune system, acne and now I take just 1 kind that covers it all plus some.
